It\u2019s called <em>Warhammer: Chaos &amp; Conquest<\/em>, and it\u2019s available on both Android and iOS. The promotional materials bill it as an \u201cepic massively-multiplayer real-time strategy game\u201d set in the Warhammer fantasy universe, and the idea is that you\u2019ll build a stronghold while spreading the rather forceful message of Chaos across the Old World.<\/p>\n<p>Now here\u2019s the bad news: It\u2019s trash. This is a game that is based on making you wait for timers to tick down, and charges you currency &#8211; conveniently available to buy for real money! &#8211; to speed that process up.<\/p>\n<p>For you, gentle reader, I\u2019ve attempted to play <em>Warhammer: Chaos &amp; Conquest<\/em>, because I felt that I should at least experience the \u201creal time strategy\u201d element of this new game before rendering judgment on the rest. And in the hour or so I\u2019ve spent mucking with <em>Chaos &amp; Conquest<\/em>, that aspect is nowhere to be found. This is a game about clicking \u201cupgrade\u201d and then waiting. There\u2019s no strategy to be found here, or if there is, it\u2019s buried under enough layers of pay-to-win fluff to render the search for it a waste of time.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a trailer, which features a bunch of stuff that never happens in the game itself:<\/p>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Vfdth1bcS-I]<\/p>\n<p>The visuals are nice, I\u2019ll give it that much I suppose. But none of it makes any sense whatsoever, and it\u2019s all designed to suck money out of anyone deranged enough to get addicted to its utterly rote gameplay loop of watching numbers get bigger.<\/p>\n<p>Consider this a public service announcement from your friends at Pocket Tactics: Avoid this nonsense like the plague, and remember that not everything Games Workshop slaps its name on is worth your time.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ian Boudreau 30 May 2019 Here\u2019s some good news: A new Warhammer game is out for mobile, and in it, you get to play Chaos.
